Starting the Holiday Season With Guest Blogger John Daly from The Key Class

Dear Friends,

Most of us dream of just taking it easy as we reach decades of business experience but our Santa Barbara, CA, based friend John Daly doubles down after nearly 38 years at the helm of John Daly, Inc.
We much admire his commitment and dedication to helping at-risk youth. His volunteer work as a Court Appointed Special Advocate inspired him to put together a curriculum to teach students how to do the things that are expected in everyday life. The result is The Key Class, an organization he started in May 2010 that offers of a series of classes that provide interview tools necessary to successfully secure a job or college entrance.  The results are convincing! Key Class programs that run through Teen Court, according to Program Director Ed Cue, see an impressive turnaround. "Strategies like the Key Class are the backbone to a 92% completion rate and a recidivism rate of 12%." The Key Class programs are being offered through Teen Court and in high schools in the Santa Barbara school system, expanding to most schools in the system through Partners in Education in the near future.
Please watch their new teaser video for more information.

Befittingly, John chose James Taylor's "You've got a friend" as the song to start the week.


We are glad to have a friend like John!

Wishing you a wonderful week,
Janet
